Petra, the great rival of the blue: Livio Magoni explains Vlhova's plan for the cup

After the 3rd place in the comeback in the inaugural giant, the Slovak will remain in Soelden to work on parallel and slalom in view of Lech and Levi. The technician from Bergamo: "We can't sleep".

She is the great rival of Italy, there were few doubts before the opening and the confirmations also arrived in the race. Excluding the situation of Mikaela Shiffrin, still to be understood in terms of return to races and form condition, Petra Vlhova travels at full speed to play for the absolute World Cup already cherished last season. The 25-year-old Slovak finished the giant on the Rettenbach in third position behind Bassino and Brignone, with a great comeback in the 2nd heat after having signed only the 10th time in the first, more than two seconds behind Marta. “I was angry with myself, because I knew I could do a lot better,” Petra explained about that first heat. And far from happy with that performance was certainly also Livio Magoni, the largely Italian head coach of the staff who wants to take Liptovsky's native Mikulas to the top of the world. Let's face it: with Lech's parallel scheduled for next November 13 at the restart of the cup, and Levi's two slaloms on November 21-22, she who won the specialty cup in both disciplines in the 2019/2020 season, Vlhova could already running away in general, then waiting for a “very hot” December with the first fast races. Magoni himself explained to us that, after a day of rest, Petra will now do three on the track again in Soelden, training right between PGS and slalom, to better prepare the two appointments between Vorarlberg and the Finnish one. “We can't sleep, now let's get Lech and Levi ready. Soelden? The result was good because we saved her, but also the second heat was not perfect - the analysis of the technician from Bergamo - Petra skied as I want and as she knows for ... 7 doors ”.
